Weekend in Perth City

Friday. Caught a flight to Perth in the early hours of Friday. It was the longest sunrise I've ever seen, we race against the sun for 2 hours and we lost. Arrived at Perth at 9AM, by mid-day Friday my assignment is finished, next stop is the Rydges Hotel to checkin so I can spent the remainder of the day exploring Perth City and the Supreme Court Garden by the Swan River. My first real meal in Perth is sushi at The Kaiten Sushi train bar.

Before I know it night falls, time flies when you having fun. I saw a poster about a local artist at the WA Art Gallery, artwork by Rose Miller. The artist herself was present at the expo, shes so cool, I like arty chic. I saw this $400 painting I like, almost bought one on my credit card, but changed my mind in the last minute because I remember I have no place to hang it and it conflicts with my existing painting by Mak C, I already had at home.

Saturday Sleeping in, typical me. Heading down to the food court to get an early lunch, Mexican Nachos, it was nice and spicy. There I met the two Japanese schoolgirls, Yumiko and Seiko. They showed me how to get around Perth City and the view from Kings Park. We didnt end up going back to my hotel and make sandwiches..

Sunday. Its been 3 days and I missed Sydney already. A long 5 hours flight back to Sydney.

Hiking at Bouddi Coast

Hiking along the Bouddi Coast at upper North Sydney with friends. Its an hour drive from the city but it was worth it. The views were stunning, laid back, relax, eating porkroll for lunch again, typical Vietnamese hikers style. After lunch we get to play in the water, like a kid all over again. We all got our fair share of sun tan today, with all the walking we did everyone will have sexy legs by tomorow.

Tax return 2004

This is the second night I unsuccessfully attempt at completing my tax return lodge form - I'm really pissed off. But I wont giving up that easily, mistakes and challenges are highlights of my day.

Relocating to new premises

We are relocating to our new premises today, the move was a sucess, we got the network and system core running by 2AM. Tomorow coming back to make every piece of tech equipment working and operational.

What I will misses most about the old place are the restaurants and cafe where I go out for lunch each day. Especially HAI YEN NOODLE HOUSE, I eat duck noodle (BBQ duck and egg noodle) there 2-3 times a week. Everytime I stepped in the waitress know exactly what am going to order.

Moon Festival 2004 @ Cabramatta

Moon festival (Tet Trung Thu) is also known as Mid-Autumn Festival or Children's Festival. Here in Australia this tradition continues in many Vietnamese-Australian communities, the largest of Vietnamese community is located in Cabramatta.

Tet Trung Thu activities are often centered around children and education. Parents buy lanterns for their children so that they can participate in a candlelit lantern procession at dawn. Lanterns represent brightness while the procession symbolises success in school.

In a Vietnamese folklore, parents were working so hard to prepare for the harvest that they left the children playing by themselves. To make up for lost time, parents would use Tet Trung Thu as an opportunity to show their love and appreciation for their children.

Like the Chinese, Vietnamese parents tell their children fairy tales and serve mooncakes and other special treats under the silvery moon. A favorite folklore is about a carp that wanted to become a dragon. The carp worked and worked and eventually transformed itself into a dragon. Parents use this story to encourage their children to work hard so that they can become whatever they want to be.

I look forward to Tet Trung Thu every year, I'm just a big kid.
